RDL

5/95
Sumo DL
5/115
5/145
3/175 belt
Conventional DL
1/205
1/220 PR
Still not maxed out.
Sumo DL
3/180
5/185
Supposed to be three reps. But for some reason I feel that my form gets better on subsequent reps. Just the opposite with conventional. I really don’t understand how to set up for this lift. And it shows.
Wide-Stance Low-Bar Squat
5/45
5/95
3/5/115 High bar for second set only
A circuit of lat pulldown, paused DB shrugs, and HLRs.
Nice pull little lady.
Squat ‘and’ DL PRs in recent weeks.
Great progress, you must be doing something right. Congratulations.
Nice DL PR. Now why didn’t you go for 225? (I’m teasing!). Congrats!
yeah! damn you are a beast! even if you are little and cute and stuff.
a giggly Dl’ing snapper?
Your pulls look easy.
Is it me or does it look like your hips shift to your right (left looking at the video)? Dominant hip?
Good lifting, Snap!
Ddot’s right, you’re swaying on the 220.
On the 185 you were much more stable. Your grip seemed pretty wide, is that normal for you? Usually, people keep their arms vertical and parallel. Also, you looked to the side just before you finished the last rep. Be very, very careful, odd things can happen to the neck area if you start twisting it during a max effort.
I do that exact same hopping before a fight in an SCA tourney.
Damn fine pulling.

Great pulls. You might want to try a bit wider foot stance. It may help with the swaying.
Congratulations on the 220 pull, Snap!
I enjoyed watching your vids.
I don’t know what was up with the sway. I didn’t know it happened until I watched the vid. I think the sumo pulls look smoother because the weight was 35 lb. less. But I’m not sure I can break a really heavy single off the floor in sumo stance.
Nice deadlifts, and nice song playin in the background
Great work snap, love the intensity.

I have to believe there’s some carry over from wide stance squats to sumo pulls.
Everytime I think of either I think of the Louie Simmons Belt Squat machine and how I bet lots of wish we had access to one (for some spinal deload days).
Or you could go the economical route and just do Belt squats from boxes.
I bet you could even work on breaking from the floor if you started the weight on the floor each rep.

Goblet sqauats would be another option. Its not 100% spinal deload but its much lower than back squats.
Nice deadlifting snap…looking strong girl!!!
woot at the 220 PR!!!
love the smiles…
Awesome lifts!!!
Nice pulling- good work snap
